Thank you very much.
Mr. Martin, I know that you have a question, or a point of order, but can I release Mr. Hamilton first? It doesn't concern him.
Mr. Hamilton, I thank you for being here.
I thank Mr. Dechert for his intervention, but he has to read a lot of parliamentary procedures...like Erskine May, Beauchesne’s, and O'Brien and Bosc.
We could, if we wanted to, have asked you to answer, but we decided not to. I think we have to reinforce that this is a parliamentary committee, a committee of the House, and it has a different procedure to follow.
But I thank you, and I thank my colleagues for keeping their questions such that you didn't have to violate any client-solicitor privilege.
The witness is free to go.
With that, I'd like to suspend for 30 seconds....
Oh, only five minutes are left?
Okay, Mr. Martin, go ahead.
